If you have built your career directing multi-trade construction crews and are ready to deliver at pace for an ambitious and growing consultancy, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor and enforce quality standards across structural, mechanical, piping, and platework activities in accordance with project specifications, applicable codes, and client requirements.
• Track field progress against the construction schedule; identify deviations promptly and implement corrective actions to protect project milestones and delivery commitments.
• Coordinate material deliveries, plant and equipment availability, and resource allocation to maintain uninterrupted construction workflow across all SMPP disciplines.
• Identify, document, and report non-conformances, near misses, and safety incidents; participate actively in root cause analysis and drive corrective action implementation to closure.
• Liaise with engineers, project managers, and client site representatives to resolve technical queries and manage field variations in a timely and documented manner.
• Maintain accurate and complete site records, including daily progress reports, timesheets, inspection and test records, and as-built documentation.

Minimum Requirements

You must have

• Trade qualification (Red Seal) in a relevant SMPP discipline, such as boilermaker, millwright, pipefitter, or rigger.

• Valid driver’s licence (Code EB).

It would advantage you to have

• SAMTRAC or equivalent health, safety, environment, and quality (HSEQ) qualification.
• Proficiency in MS Office and site progress reporting tools.

Competencies and Attributes

• Technical proficiency across multiple SMPP disciplines, with the ability to identify and resolve field execution challenges without unnecessary escalation.
• Strong leadership and crew management capability, with a consistent track record of maintaining productivity, discipline, and morale across multi-trade site teams.
• Rigorous commitment to safety compliance, quality assurance, and zero-defect construction standards throughout all phases of work.
• Clear and effective communication with engineering personnel, subcontractors, and client representatives in a fast-paced, high-pressure site environment.
• Proactive, solutions-oriented approach to construction schedule pressure, resource constraints, and field-level problem-solving.
